Each year, the Littleton Public Schools Foundation is proud to recognize students who are not only planning to pursue careers in education but who are already making a difference in the lives of others. Thanks to the generous support of the Colwell Family, and new this year, Westerra Credit Union, each student will receive a $4,250 scholarship to help them take the next step on their journey.

Gio Caranna (Arapahoe High School) - Whether on the field or in the classroom, Gio has made it his mission to ensure every student feels seen, included, and valued through his work with Unified Sports, Special Olympics, and Powell Middle School. That passion will guide him as he pursues a future in center-based teaching and adaptive physical education.

Grace Libbey (Heritage High School) - Grace found her calling in early childhood education through hands-on experience at Active Learners and the Teacher Cadet program at EPIC. She plans to attend Colorado State University to study Early Childhood Education, with a focus on supporting multilingual learners.

Clara Cyphers (Littleton High School) - Clara has built a strong foundation in education through EPIC and the Teacher Cadet program, gaining hands-on experience in elementary classrooms. She plans to study abroad before pursuing a degree in psychology and a future in pediatric occupational therapy or school-based support services.

May Osborne (Options Secondary Program) - May discovered her passion for environmental horticulture through EPIC’s Natural Resources Pathway and has extended her learning through community projects like Highline Canal cleanups. She plans to study Environmental Horticulture at Colorado State University and inspire others to care for the environment.
